The Pillars of faith Iman in Islam are distinguished from the pillars of religion because they focus on the system of belief rather than merely ritual worship. They are also affected by Islamic law but guided mostly by somewhat esoteric truths of Islam. Of course a person cannot have complete faith without submission to the law. The "Pillars" or the truths upon which the Islamic faith is premised are:
To believe in Allah (SWT) (God) in His Existence, His right to be worshipped, His Oneness, His Attributes, and His right to legislate
To believe in God's angels
To believe in the Holy Qur'an and the other Holy Books, (Torah, the Gospel of Jesus, the Psalms of David)
To believe in God's Messengers, of whom Adam was the first and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last
To believe in the Resurrection and the Day of Judgment
To believe in Divine Preordainment
Many scholars have written various explanations of these pillars. This list of the Pillars of Faith is accepted as basic to belief in Islam by every sect and school of thought.
